We give a tutorial for the study of dynamical systems on networks. We focus especially on "simple" situations that are tractable analytically, because they can be very insightful and provide useful springboards for the study of more…
I present some reminiscences, both personal and scientific, over a lifetime of admiration of, and friendship with, one of the Grandmasters of our subject.
I was a student of Juris Hartmanis at Cornell in the late 1970's. He believed that there was great potential in studying restricted reductions. I describe here some of his influences on me and, in particular, how his insights concerning…
Networks have been studied mainly using statistical methods. Here I collect some dynamical systems tools which are useful to study both the dynamics on networks and their evolution. They include decomposition of differential dynamics,…
This special issue collects contributions from the participants of the "Information in Dynamical Systems and Complex Systems" workshop, which cover a wide range of important problems and new approaches that lie in the intersection of…
This is a brief account of my results with George Boxer, Frank Calegari and Vincent Pilloni on the (potential) modularity of abelian surfaces.
Several concepts on the measure of observability, reachability, and robustness are defined and illustrated for both linear and nonlinear control systems. Defined by using computational dynamic optimization, these concepts are applicable to…
This note aims to bring attention to a simple class of discrete dynamical systems exhibiting some complex behaviour. Each of these systems is defined as a self-mapping of the unit square and is obtained by coupling two families of…
The author discusses integrability of Hamiltonian dynamical systems in the aftermath of KdV. The author also discusses the role of integrable systems in certain numerical computations, particularly the computation of the eigenvalues of a…
A survey of work on motivic integration.
This work focuses on two notions of non-Hamiltonian integrable systems: B-integrability and Euler-Jacobi integrability. We first show that the first notion is stronger. We then investigate which possible "non-evident" properties one can add…
In this overview we discuss some recent results of non--uniqueness for the isentropic Euler equations of gas dynamics with particular attention to the role of some admissibility criteria proposed in the literature.
This text is a slightly edited version of lecture notes for a course I gave at ETH, during the Winter term 2000-2001, to undergraduate Mathematics and Physics students. Contents: Chapter 1 - Examples of Dynamical Systems Chapter 2 -…
Three topics in dynamical systems are discussed. In the first two sections we solve some open problems concerning, respectively, Furstenberg entropy of stationary dynamical systems, and uniformly rigid actions admitting a weakly mixing…
This is an expanded version of the lecture notes for a minicourse that I gave at a summer school called "Advanced Course on Geometry and Dynamics of Integrable Systems" at CRM Barcelona, 9--14/September/2013. In this text we study the…
Koopman operator based models emerged as the leading methodology for machine learning of dynamical systems. But their scope is much larger. In fact they present a new take on modeling of physical systems, and even language. In this article…
Cosmology is a well established research area in physics while dynamical systems are well established in mathematics. It turns out that dynamical system techniques are very well suited to study many aspects of cosmology. The aim of this…
I give a short review of the theory of twisted symmetries of differential equations, emphasizing geometrical aspects. Some open problems are also mentioned.
Classical Bianchi-Lie, Backlund and Darboux transformations are considered. Their generalizations for the dynamical systems are discussed. For the transformation being the generalization of the normal shift the special class of dynamical…
The relationship between two dynamical systems, one of which is obtained from the other by forming the quotient by an action of an involution commuting with the dynamics, is studied. The constraints and the possible extent of freedom in the…
